Jasper mayor appointed to state advisory board

Jasper Mayor Terry Seitz has been appointed as a lay member on the Indiana Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations.

Mayor Seitz has served on the commission for three years.

The Indiana Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (IACIR) was established by the General Assembly in 1995 to provide a forum to plan for and address the problems that will arise as greater demands are made on state and local governments.

Based upon federal and other states’ enabling statutes, Indiana is one of 20 states to establish an intergovernmental commission. The IACIR’s mission is to create effective communication, cooperation and partnerships between the federal, state and local units of government to improve the delivery of services to the citizens of Indiana.
